Advanced trekking staff

A trekking staff comprising:

• a main shaft having an interior cavity;
• a plurality of concentric shafts to be removably disposed within the interior cavity of the main shaft;
• a tip shaft having an interior cavity, the main shaft to be slidably disposed within the interior cavity of the tip shaft;
• a secondary shaft having a hollow interior that removably receives the tip shaft and main shaft, the secondary shaft to be supported by a tip of the tip shaft;
• a locking member to secure the main shaft at a variable position on the tip shaft and thus provides the trekking staff with a variable length;
• a housing coupled to the main shaft over the interior cavity of the main shaft, the housing comprising an engagement structure to receive the plurality of concentric shafts to form a tripod;
• and
• a first configuration in which the plurality of concentric shafts are disposed within the interior cavity to form a trekking staff configuration, and
• a second configuration in which the plurality of concentric shafts are removed from the main shaft and the plurality of concentric shafts are received by the engagement structure of the housing so as to form a tripod configuration;
• a holder to be removably coupled to the housing;
• and the secondary shaft to be removed from the tip shaft and removably coupled to the holder to form a vertical attachment.
